Having analyzed John Locke`s system of educability the author of the article elicited that it is the development of a brought up individual`s consciousness that averages the grounds of education. Therefore, the methods of encouragement and punishment are auxiliary ones in the development of consciousness affecting the behavior of a nurseling.
The author determines the role and place of both encouragement and punishment in the system of education upon the whole; cause-effect relations afford to establish analytical dependance between the applied methods in question and a final result of the educational process.
The author also gives and substantiates the definition of the notion “readiness of future teachers for the usage of the methods of encouragement and punishment”. It is looked upon as an integrative quality of future teachers; the essence being control and assessment of nurseling`s behavior, the way the educated observes both his rights and duties.
